Yes, mhabashy, I am seeing my battery drain very fast throughout the day. I drained it yesterday and fully charged it overnight and it's now below 21% 8 hours later and I've hardly used it. I make sure to closes the apps when I've finished and with similar use on my iPhone 4, I never encountered such a quick drain. Looking forward to hearing from others.

Yes.the battery life Isvterrible. A real let down. Yet some of these iPhones do seem to work .... However if this is the iPhone 5 at its best then I am sorry apple will lose a customer. It should last 12 hours!

I've seen this issue before on previous iphones, several complete drains of the battery(till it shuts off) let it sit for an hour after its discharged and then a full recharge usually will calibrate the battery.

I've noticed something when the iPhone 5 is connected via wi-fi. The LAN light on my router never stops blinking rapidly when the 5 is connected to wi-fi even though I'm not running any apps. Something in the background is running through the router constantly even when idle, and I am also getting serious battery drain. I've turned off location services, reset the phone, minimized what's open etc etc....wonder if this is someone to do with Siri? As soon as I turn off wi fi, the router calms down and battery drain returns to normal...ps, it's any device I have upgraded to iOS 6 that is sowing this, not just the 5

Well turning off Siri has certainly helped battery life.but Sunday is a lighter use day...thanks Simon!

But the fundamental problem remains... Apple have not sorted the battery problem and we have paid good money for a machine ( however wonderful) which we have to turn features off within, in order to keep it going !!!
